DescriptionThis TimeWarp 52 started life as a NOS 2013 factory Fender Road Worn 50s Tele, and was transformed into an authentic looking and playing custom shop quality '52 Telecaster through the TimeWarp process of aging and relic work. It is incredibly realistic in its look, and the tone is Fender with an attitude thanks to the Fender American Custom Shop Texas Special pickups. This Fender guitar would cost $3,500 or more if it came out of the Custom Shop, not CrossTown Customs. The work that went into it takes this guitar to a whole new level. Period correct slot head screws are throughout, and the amount of checking and player wear makes it look truly authentic and is usually found only on a real 1950s model, or Masterbuilt guitars. The Nitro on the body and neck is thin and allows the wood to resonate, just like Leo wanted it, and it will continue to age. It has the look, feel and tone you want, without a vintage price tag. The neck was aged to look a true work horse, and the original decal was created to look like it is above the finish, just like the original. The medium jumbo frets are full, and it has a vintage 7.25" radius and a thicker C profile.  Part of the TimeWarp process is to remove the serial number and stamp it into the heel of the neck, which adds to the aura and keeps the important serial number with your guitar. The American Fender Custom Shop Texas Special pickups have total attitude and fit this guitar perfectly. They're fully cloth wired to a 3 way switch, as well as a repro 1950s drop cap and a Switchcraft output jack upgrade. One of the best features is a period correct serial number stamped on the USA Fender Pat. Pend. bridge with compensated brass saddles. It comes complete with real world Relic TKL hardshell case, as well as the case candy. While it's a relic, the guitar is as new. It was created to look this way and there are no issues. It's better than the day it left the Fender factory. It looks, sounds and plays better and you get all the vintage guitar you want without the vintage price tag.   Model: TimeWarp 52 (TW52) Weight: 7 lbs, 13 oz Shipping to AK, HI and PR is 15.00 more.
